[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 753603, member: 18516"] This will be the first year that I'm not hosting a large crowd. Each year I host either Thanksgiving or Christmas and do a sit down dinner for anywhere from 20 to 35. I asked my husband what he wanted to do since we are not going to be hosting and he said "let's go serve at the rescue mission" so that is what we are going to do. I love the holiday's. I love to decorate with all my fall stuff and then for Christmas. I used to dread the holiday's but realized that my expectations were not realistic. I find much more joy in giving. A couple of years ago I made over 40 loaves of orange, cranberry nut bread and gave them away. My husband and I loaded up and walked around our neighborhood giving them out and I took a bunch to church and gave those out. I also like to play secret santa to people I know that are having a hard time. Nothing too expensive, sometimes just Walmart gift card. This year I'm buying 3 gift certificates for a nice restaurant to give to the three police officers that live in my neighborhood as a thank you for their service. [/QUOTE]
